    FMT600,? mandatory

    Bit of an odd question I know but can you be forced/told/ordered to hold a 600? Or is it the choice of the individual? (pic post doesn't stipulate driving quals, and the RAF never paid for his civvy licence)

    How hard (or easy) is to sack someone from the RAF?

    A good mate of mine has been threatened with admin discharge. What sort of timescale might he be looking at? Are many people removed from the RAF this way? Anyone got any tales/experience to share? The AD would be for laziness/incompetence/attitude etc rather than fitness/drugs failure.

    OOA Volunteers?

    Is there anywhere on the intranet you can see what OOA dets are available? I looked in the ground trades positions register but that only lists overseas postings rather than 4/6 month dets. The OOA list on the manning page lists the same 6 dets and never seems to be updated. I know there are...

    When is it "time to go"?

    What was your PVR trigger? How did you know it was time to end your service? I'm just about to PVR and whilst it's a scary thought I'm also looking forward to it. I just seem to be drowning in extra crap that wasn't there when I joined up. Joke management, lack of resources and manpower etc...

    Are you forced to accept the jabs at the med centre? If so, does anyone know an AP reference detailing things? If they are mandatory - what trouble would you be in if you refused them?

    Public sector payrises limited to 1% until 2015

    Just seen the Chancellor's statement and he says "public sector payrises will be limited to 1% from 2013-2015" Bah, I'm guessing that'll include us as well? Just another good reason to stay in eh? Roll on tranche 2!
